IMPROVEMENT IN BAKE-PANS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 206,099, dated July 16,1878 application filed June 27, 1878.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, L. G. FISHER, Jr., of Chicago, Oook county,Illinois, have invented an Improvement in Bake-Pans, of which thefollowing is a specification:

My invention is a dish or pan, constructed of the materials and in themanner fully described hereinafter, adapted to hold solids, fluids, orsemi-fluids, especially in cooking, as effectively as the porcelain ormetal dishes heretofore used for such purposes, yet so inexpensive thatit may be sold with the contents as a substitute for the ordinarywrappers.

In the accompanying drawing, which forms pa'rt of this specification,Figure l is a section of material before it is formed in a dish. Fig. 2is a section of one form of dish, and Fig. 3 a plan view of Fig.2.

Heretofore dishes have been made of single sheets of paper for thereception of articles to be sold, as substitutes for ordinary paperwrappers, and such dishes have sometimes been used for holding liquidsor semi-fluids and for baking purposes, but have proved defective fromthe liability of the paper to disintegrate, the inner face peeling offwhen the contents are removed.

The object of my invention is to make a jointless dish capable ofretaining fluids or semi-fluids with a body of paper, as heretofore, socheap that it may be transferred to the purchaser with the article sold,but free from the before-named defects-a resultwhich I efl'ect byproviding the paper dish with a facing of material which will notdisintegrate under the action of articles placed in the dish, but sosoft and pliable as not to interfere with the economical manufacture ofthe dish by ordinary processes.

I first make a compound sheet by facing a sheet, a, of paper with asecond sheet, I), of extremely thin, soft, pliable materialsueh astin-foil, textile fabric, w0od-veneer, caoutpl ouc,

or gutta-pereha-the two sheets being united by pressure or cement, thelatter, when used, being preferably water-proof. The compound sheet ofpaper and soft flexible or fibrous material are cut to the proper form,and are shaped preferably by dies, which turn up the edges forming sides0, without any joints through which fluid might escape. The dish thusmade will retain the fluids or semi-fluids without softening under theiraction, even when highly heated, and will not adhere to thematerialsbaked therein, being in these respects as effective as a dishof metal, and but little more expensive than one formed wholly of paper,while free from the defects of the latter.

I am aware that paper boxes for the recon tion of pens have beenstrengthened by iaeings outside or inside of hard metal; but I am notaware of an inner metallic facing having been cemented to the face ofadish, orofa compound sheet of paper and foil, fabric, or other materialhaving been employed in the manufacture of a seamless dish.

I do not claim the peculiar form of flanged corrugated dish shown in thedrawing, as the same is the invention of Henry A. llonse; but

I claim- 1. A jointless baking-dish consisting of a compound sheetcomposed of paper and a soft pliable facing material secured thereto,substantially as set forth.

2. A dish made from a single sheet of paper, having united thereto athin facing of soft pliable material capable of being molded with thepaper, as set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.
